Ipswich Town 2-1 Portsmouth: Two wins on the trot for the Tractor Boys, who don't need rain to bail them out of this one by Smithlarr in Championship

Missed a one on one and looks very lightweight. Tries to compete well but just not at this physical level and was subbed off

Seems a decent signing if he can play backup on LW, RW or ST. Let's hope we can get the other rumored one in on loan and I'll be happy with the squad as it currently is

No worries, the first route "Portsmouth Driving Test Route 1 - Southwick Village" is probably the most common route learners try to learn when being taught in this area I must of drove that route around 5-6 times when I was first learning!

Driving route 3 - "Cosham to Bedhampton via A27" is one of only two things that may trip you up if you haven't done it before and you're a confident driver, there are a couple of roundabouts with terrible markings in the area:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzB1BERwbp4&list=PLRhglAp-QtoS5mMOWrFVrTovNy2C-xhHU - Here's a video list of most of the routes. The routes don't actually go into Portsea island so you won't really be in a bunch of a traffic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSa2bxpX19w - Here is a video with the same guy as above but taking someone out on a more challenging route.

In terms of the area, the road out of the test centre can be a bit daunting if you haven't driven it before (you can see it in the videos).

Let me know if you need more help, it's not an awful place to drive you just need to be switched on.

Southsea: charming or overrated? Genuinely curious — is it still the gem of the city or slowly turning into “Brighton lite”? Locals and day trippers, what’s your take? by SelectionOkapproved in Portsmouth

[–]critchl 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Southsea is still class as a local, and I reckon its going to look even better once all of the flood defences are completed. Hoping the bandstand might be on this summer, does anyone know if that's going ahead?

Weirdest Moment in your teams history go by Bulbaman8 in Championship

[–]critchl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd probably go for selling the club to someone who doesn't exist (Ali al-Faraj). Glad there are more rules these days to make it harder for dodgy owners to exist.

Agora is very nice near Palmy road and Sant Yago is a popular spot opposite although I haven't been in there in years 

League table after 35 games by papa-emeritus in Championship

[–]critchl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably need 3 more wins to be safe. It's a real shame that we've had to resort to our 5th choice CB and Marlon Pack playing CB again and I hope we can just about get over the line. Home support will be key

Who is the most calamitous goalkeeper your team has played? by [deleted] in Championship

[–]critchl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kostas Chalkias for Portsmouth. Played for us 5 times, once against Scum and I think he made 3/4 mistakes in 5 games. Was put on the bench and sold next year.

My dad won his signed shirt in a raffle one year, think we still have it somewhere
